RE-THATCH
Depending on the type of material and location of the property, thatched roofing needs replacing approximately every 25 years.
​
RE-RIDGE
The ridge is a sacrificial component and will usually need to be replaced mid way through the thatch life.
An array of ridge styles are available, ranging from a traditional ‘flush’ ridge or block cut ridge to a block patterned ridge.
INSURANCE SURVEYS
we are able to carry out surveys and inspections to your thatched roof and provide a detailed report. These cover all the information that an insurance company needs, although conditions and questions may vary from company to company. The survey will give the owner an indication of whether any immediate repair work is needed, in addition to the likely remaining lifespan of the thatch. A specialist thatch survey is also recommended when buying or selling a thatched property.
NEW BUILDS

REPAIRS
Inevitably, over time a thatched roof may begin to show signs of wear and tear. It is sometimes possible to carry out repairs, rather than re-thatch
maintenance
Some people like to have their thatched roof monitored over its lifespan. If your roof has been thatched within the last 7 years, this I not necessary. However, some older roofs benefit from a check-up from time to time that we can arrange for you.
TESTIMONIALS
"We had a new thatch roof this year and we were very excited to have the work completed to such a good standard. Both Stevie and Stuart were professional and gave guidance when needed. It was always a great pleasure in learning more about how our thatch was being completed and they took time to discuss and show the techniques they were using. They are hardworking and genuinely care about the work they were doing and how the experience was for us. They achieved an excellent finish on what was a challenging thatch roof and we are very happy with our new beautiful roof."
